According to Times of Israel report, in a previous revelation, the IDF provided evidence indicating the use of the hospital’s basement by Hamas for storing weapons and potentially holding hostages. The recent investigation by the IDF’s 401st Brigade, Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit, and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit identified and mapped out the three tunnel shafts. According to the report, citing IDF, these shafts are part of a broader underground network spanning several kilometers beneath the hospital and leading to strategic points within Gaza City. The operations revealed that the three shafts “are connected by a wide underground network that runs under the hospital, is several kilometers long and leads to strategic points in the heart of Gaza City.”
It says the tunnel at Rantisi was used by Hamas as a command center to manage the fighting against Israel.

Another shaft, found in the home of a commander in Hamas’s naval forces, featured a blast door to prevent troops from entering, it says. After being investigated, the tunnel network was demolished by combat engineers. With inputs from agencies
